Things you should know when starting a catering

business

Pricing is crucial If you have only just recently

started up your very own catering business the chances are from little experience you have very

little knowledge as to how much to charge your clients or even how much to spend on the business

itself! You need to ensure you’re giving yourself a profit as well as

providing your clients with an affordable service.

Meet your client Take time out to actually sit down with your client and discuss the event before you come up with a price. It is essential you take as

many notes as you can so you make no mistakes. Ask your clients if any of their guests have any allergies or

if they are vegetarians so you can make the event good for everyone.

Work out the costs Think about what particular

costs you are going to need to consider such as the menu,

rental charges, staff, beverages and more! It is always good to

offer little freebies or little extras for your client. Once you have worked out the cost of all this together this is when you can

come up with the price you are going to charge ensuring you

have a profit too.

It is very important you read through your contract before

signing a deal with your client. Underline all the additional charges you will be making and what you have already discussed should be well

stated on paper.
